RECENT CHANGES IN PATENT LAW AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR INFORMATION SERVICES AND INFORMATION SCIENTISTS
Abstract
Four major changes in patent law—the British Patents Act, European Patent Convention, Community Patent Convention and the Patent Co‐operation Treaty are described. Comments are made on their likely effect on information scientists and commercial information services and some predictions are made on likely usage of the European Patent Convention by British firms.
